HANRAHAN CHARDONNAY 2014 The meagre crops of 2014 resulting in incredible flavour and richness. Aromas of white peach and citrus blossom. A palate full of apple crumble and hazelnut cream intertwined with a subtle hint of French oak.

HANRAHAN SHIRAZ 2014 A great Shiraz year, full of pepper spice and Satsuma plum. Concentrated and plush, the middle palate extends to a long lingering finish.

HANRAHAN CHARDONNAY 2012Voted94/100 James Halliday Wine Companion. Refreshing Mineral Style Chardonnay. A delicious chardonnay, smelling of the freshest white nectarines and complemented by vanillin oak spices. Produced with ‘kid glove’ treatment, then whole bunch pressing, the use of new large French Oak puncheons, barrel stirring and time on lees (a little over 6 months). Enjoy with seafood, pasta and poultry dishes. $38 per bottle.
